Technical error at the out-of-towners polling stations hinders the start point of voting in Port Said, complaints at the out-of-towners polling station at the Red Sea, a rally for supporters of Muslim Brotherhood on Haram street, clashes in Damietta, exploitation of children to urge people to boycott the Referendum in Fayoum, vehicles by Al Nour party urging people to vote Yes in the Red Sea and the governor urges voters to vote Yes inside the polling station, in Monofia residents siege the house of the Freedom and Justice party Secretary General and government official vehicles are used to urge people to vote Yes. These were the main observations so far, details as follow:

The Egyptian Association for Community Participation Enhancement (EACPE), through its observers across the different Egyptian governorates, is currently observing the Constitutional Referendum of 2013. our observers have noted the increased voting rates by voters in general, especially women and the elderly, specifically in lower Egypt including Alexandria, and in Cairo. However they also noted that the Referendum process has been curbed by supporters of Muslim Brotherhood at numerous locations, such as Al Khaiata village, Damietta. Our observers have also noted propaganda in favor of voting for Yes in front of certain polling stations, such as Al Shaab and Shagaret Al Dor schools in Baniswef, and in Samsata polling station there were military vehicles broadcasting songs encouraging people to choose Yes.

EACPE declares its condemnation to the stand of the Supreme Committee of Elections concerning the issuance of the referendum monitoring permissions of the Association. As the latter received 500 instead of 15,000 permissions! With no reasons. Hence, EACPE asks the committee to announce the reasons behind the exclusion of the rest of the supervisors.
